you got a 3 door or 5 door??

i've been quoted anywhere from £180 to £250 to have my 5 door tinted.  I guess its done to the level of tint you want  :undecided:

I have the factory tints, but feel they scratch very easily.
I have a small mark on my rear window - what can I do to make it better?! lol

They should scratch no more than ordinary windows Ifti!!

They aren't coated like aftermarket film...it is the glass itself that is tinted from the factory. :smiley:

Ive had a small scratch on my rear window since I purchased the car. I'll try looking for some glass cleaner/scratch repair stuff next time I go out ;)

IMO cars look naked without privee glass.

Wifeys ED30 has factory and I had the rears on my A4 done in Martham (Near Gt Yarmouth).

Really good job and i think it was around the 250 mark.

i payed £65+ Vat , but prices have gone up 2 weeks ago, because these have been selling like hotcakes and theyve shoved up the price :sad:

Vanstyle.co.uk is the place.

Highly recommended and are of superb quality. Very easy to fit, and remove.

Stops 75% uv light,and also stops the Horrid Helicopter wind noise to your ears when just the back windows are down too.

(5 door owners will know what that is)
